Karen Thomas Head of School SCHOOL FAIR – March 18th - Save the date!![]() Today the Y6 Student Council met with William, our PTA Chair, to offer their advice on games and amusements for the school fair which will have a ‘World Fair' theme this year. It looks like it is going to be enormous fun for the whole family so please do mark it in your diary. Some of you have already signed up to help at the fair and we are extremely grateful for your help. Please contact the PTA Office if you are willing to give us some time on the day. There will of course be other ways you can help out….Raffle tickets are already being sold and we are very impressed by the students' motivation! We are looking for donations of unwanted gifts, new or quality second hand household items for the White Elephant Stall. These could be toys, household items and appliances, bikes, CDs, DVDs, puzzles or board games! Please be mindful that we are not able to sell pirated copies of CDs or DVDs. We have already started collecting second hand books (for children or adults) and would appreciate as many donations as possible. All donations should be sent to the PTA Office.
